We showed off Babylovedoll yesterday in all her orange glory, and today it’s a pleasure to start the day with this piece, described only as “orange,” by Terry Ribera, who’s been splitting his time between Avalon Tattoo II in San Diego, California, and Daredevil Tattoo in New York City. It’s pretty easy for bio-mech stuff to end up looking samey, but Ribera’s work is so damn solid it’s pretty hard not to appreciate. What can I say? I’m a sucker for citrus-powered limbs.
Hey, it’s actually been a little while since we’ve posted anything from the mad geniuses at Swastika Freakshop! The last we had Nadine on ModBlog, it was to show off her gorgeous done-by-Freakshop wings. This time around? Her stunning symmetrical sleeves, naturally done by Marc at the aforementioned Swastika Freakshop. This lady is sporting some of the nicest goddamn tattoos around.
Apologies for the obligatory cornball title, but this lovely shot of Moritura was taken by Aimee Fiona for a set called “Beauty Redefined.”
(Sleeve by Shane Horinaka.)
This right here? This is just some solid tattoo work, mixing traditional and modern elements, and making up one hell of a nice sleeve by Dave Shoemaker at Spyglass Tattoo in Manchester, New Hampshire. More shots of the sleeve, after the jump.
Really wonderful work here by Dustin Poole at Sacred Balance in Calgary, Alberta. Click through for a close-up. C’mon, do it. You know you want to.

Bodyboard enthusiasts will be delighted to note than Tiff is observing proper safety technique and keeping her leash fastened at an appropriate length. They may be dismayed, however, to see that she is nowhere near the water, which even a novice will tell you could result in rugburn, splinters, and hurt feelings.

I know what you’re thinking, and I’m inclined to agree: I kind of wish we could see more of his tattoos, too. You’re on notice, Renato.
